MY FIRST TIME EXPERIENCE AS A MOTHER

Hello wonderful friends,

I want to share my first time experience as a mother to you all. Most times when I remember the drama that was involved as a first time mother I will be laughing but you see life is in stages and I have grown above that and even do educate the up coming mothers whenever I come in contact with them.Growing up as young girls when I see pregnant women with protruding stomach I will go and ask my mother several question to know why their stomach will be protruding, I remember that faithful day I encountered three different women at different locations when I went for an errand for my mummy then I was in grade four,I came back panicking and mum asked what was wrong with me

I told her I encountered three women with the protruding stomach and I asked my mum if it was a disease that was associated with a girl as she grows up,
"Hahahahahahahahahahaha" my mother laughed hard and then she "said come sit lete educate you". I went and sat beside me and then she began to narrate that it was a good thing and a thing of joy and that I came into existence through that way, so I began to throw question at her asking her if they ever felt heavy like a weight of load on them and my mum said that they will only feel some discomfort than they were without pregnancy. What got me a bit scared was when mum told me pregnancy to full term is usually 9 months. She also said there was no other process of bringing forth another human being on earth.

And so I began to meditate on what my mum said, I will sit and soliloquize within myself " is this how I will be? How will it feels like? So I will be carrying a human being for nine months? Sincerely each time I remembered my mother's words I will feel so afraid.But you see we learn and grow as days, months and years goes by, I grew and got married to my husband in November 30th 2013, I took in some months after my wedding and I began to experience what mum said but by then I had already prepared my mind towards pregnancy, by the grace of God I got through till nine months but I never really asked much about labour and on that very day the 31st of march 2015 I went into labour ,my husband and family members were all around me, the the labour became so Interns with pain , come and see drama.

I began to apologize to my husband telling him if I had ever offended him ,and because of that I was experiencing severe labour pain that He should forgive me, my husband laugh and said it was not that but that it was normal labour pain ,chai the pain became so severe, I was watching time and asking the midwife on duty when the time for me to be delivered was and she will laugh and will say" don't worry when is time I will alert you" I went in one of the sessions and asked her if it was a taboo to disclose the delivery time to me that the pains was interns she kept repeating her previous answer.

Time time came when I finally pushed out my baby.my husband was very happy because He has always wanted a girl child first because He is a family of boys ,a day after I was discharged from the hospital.
The drama continued when I got home chai first time mother, for every little thing I noticed I will be panicking, on that faithful day everyone left me and the baby home and so I never knew that new babies sleeps alot because they do not have much activities to do but to eat and sleep , and on this day my baby slept for a long time , I began to panick, I went putting my ear close to her nostrils to be sure she was breathing as that was not enough ,I was not convinced if she was still breading or alive ,I had to shake her so hard but you know? She never responded was still sleeping.

So still panicking ,in my quest to be sure she was alive I had to pinch her hard and immediately she cried ,I had to pick her and breast feed her, it took me a while to adjust as whenever she was asleep even at night I will wake up and put my hand on her chest to be sure she was alive but all thanks to God we all grow above certainly things in life and I eventually had my second and third with so much experience.

Thanks 🙏 for reading through my blog, if you are a mother here pls share your first time experience with me as well.
